It's is my aboslute favorite pizza place and the atmosphere is fantastic as well. (http://flatbreadcompany.com/2007Home.htm) Wild Burrito: The burrito place across from my old work is also something to experience - it's definitly, as the name suggests, wild - at least in decor :) - just look for the flourescent green sign near Congress & Forest :) Flatbread: I know this is a fantastically late comment, but if you ever make your way up to Portland again you have got to go to Flatbread.

It's always great to hear from someone who's local and knows what's good. I hope I will find myself back in Portland again! : ) Thanks for those tips, Lauren!

The food here is truly amazing. It's astounding that I ever get the motivation to cook for myself when I have so many favorite resturants around. If you ever find yourself back here, may I suggest The Porthole for breakfast, Silly's for lunch and Sonny's for dinner. You also must make a special trip to Federal Spice for the yam fries; served warm dusted with sea salt and sugar (dip them in a saracha/ketchup mix). The Porthole is a tucked away local's staple. It's warm and cozy and does breakfast right. Silly's is funky and fun. Get yourself a What's Shakin' Bacon milkshake. And at Sonny's...if there 's tamales on the menu that night...they are an absolute must. I actually live Portland. The food here is truly amazing.

I highly recommend The Maine Diner in Wells. It's located in southern Maine on route 1. Have the lobster pie or the seafood chowder. So pleased you went to Maine. It's so beautiful there, and as you found out, the food is delicious! I now live in California but visit my home state every year. I make sure I fill up on lobster and steamers while I'm there.
